Another vote for the radial / mushroom patch plugs. On the road or trail, the strings work to at least get you home. Also, like what someone else mentioned, American / Discount Tires will patch your tire for free if it's less than 10 years old.
considering i have never ever used cement on a plug im guessing that is a extra step as long as the hole is not to big and the plug is in as far as you can get it without the ends going in the hole you are fine another thing you can run tire till its bald death with loads of plugs in the tire and one word of warning plugs work loads better if they are warm found that out the hard way in very cold weather heat the plug on the stove run out dead sprint shove it in the hole lol
I just plug a tire 5 minutes ago what a coincidence.
the best is a pull thru with a patch and works from the out side as a plug as well it seals out the derbis / water freezing in the puncture hole as it will comprmise the repair and a tar cord is ok at sea lever however in high altitude it will melt out (not legal in repairs done in shop or sold in store of mountainous states // pull thru fast patch /plug combos work with glue and install tool // up to 65psi rated
Is that Tampa from GTA San Andreas? ?
GREAT TIP!
Take care,

Well, this was a nice video, as always but…the last time I had a flat tire, I just went to the shop and 15 minutes and 10€ after it was fixed. I really love working on my cars, but I don't see myself doing this.
No thanks! My life is worth the cost of a proper patch. It gives the tire shop a chance to inspect the interior to make sure no hidden damage occurred.
Just did this last week. The tire shops around here jacked up the prices to fix tires – $45/tire even if it off the car. Can't afford that anymore. It used to be $25.
I drive a cab in Sydney, Australia & I plug punctured tyres all the time. In fact, I did one yesterday afternoon. I’ve never had a plug fail me.
